Today I downloaded a program called "AMUST Registry Cleaner" with which I removed 517 registry keys, one of which was called "NEVER DELETE OR EDIT" so I rolled that one back

Anyway I watched Bleach right after that after downloading it from Dattebayo and when I was done I deleted it.

I figured- I haven't run CCleaner in a while so I went to run it and it said "6.46MB Removed" and I thought- That cant be, Bleach alone was 170Mb.

After this, I made an Avisynth script and deleted it- my recycle bin was still empty. I checked the settings but the box to just automatically remove things rather than send them to the recycle bin was not checked.

Anyone know how to fix this? I did a system rollback to yesterday to no avail.

I'm sure the problem is a registry entry for the recycle bin but have no clue which one. Maybe there is a program out there that can replace the recycle bin if you need the functionality.

mrr. I don't need it, persay. But I do like to keep things in there until I delete them, sometimes I mistakenly delete files I want (I had to remove a rootkit once, and almost deleted my realtek audio driver :x) and this would cause major problems. I'll look into a program to fix this though.

Edit: Problem Solved, I had to Shift-Delete the C:\RECYCLER directory so windows could re-write the corrupted info files. Thank you for helping me .
